What is Metabolic Resistance?
And how might it influence YOU?
FOOD + OXYGEN = ENERGY
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are dealing with a variety of health challenges that seem to be stubbornly resistant to change—especially when it comes to weight loss, energy levels, and overall wellness. If you’ve been dieting, exercising, or you’ve just given up and still not seeing the results you expect, you might be facing something called metabolic resistance. But don’t worry—there’s a way to break through, and it’s called a metabolic reset.
What Is Metabolic Resistance?
Metabolic resistance occurs when your body’s metabolism, or the system responsible for burning calories and converting food into energy, isn’t functioning optimally. This condition makes it difficult to lose weight or maintain energy levels, even with a healthy lifestyle.
What Does It Feel Like?
General fatigue
Tired lioness after eating
Generally feel “OK” but not necessarily thriving
Resistant to weight loss
Non-resistant weight gain (ugh)
low to high-grade, chronic Joint pain
Less motivated than usual
Sugar craving
“my doctor says I’m fine but something feels OFF”
Jolly belly rolls
There are several factors that can contribute to metabolic resistance:
Chronic dieting: Repeated cycles of extreme calorie restriction can slow down your metabolism over time, as your body enters “survival mode,” holding onto fat as a reserve.
Hormonal imbalances: Hormones like cortisol, insulin, and thyroid hormones play key roles in regulating metabolism. Stress, poor diet, or certain health conditions can throw these hormones out of balance.
Age-related metabolic slowdown: If you’re 95 yrs or older this could be you, otherwise you don’t get to use the “age” card yet especially when it comes to metabolism. Healthy metabolism can be NORMAL as we age.
Nutrient deficiencies: A diet lacking in key nutrients can impair the body's ability to efficiently burn calories and maintain energy. I often find this as a main predictor of metabolic resistance.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms—fatigue, weight gain (especially around the belly), difficulty losing weight, or constant cravings—you may be dealing with metabolic resistance.
